A GIRLS DREAM. Approximate Length, 350 feet.
Price, $42.00.
The Opening Scene. — A poverty-stricken sitting room; father, mother and daughter are engaged at their various tasks. The young girl takes up her large, cumbersome box, and goes out to bring home some work. She is accosted by an ancient gallant, whom she repulses, and goes on her way.
Presently, a tired feeling coming over her, she sinks down on a wayside seat and falls asleep. The lid of the box lifts, and in awhile a miniature replica of the gallant appears, which gradually grows to life size. After him several beautiful children, gracefully dressed, also emerge from the box. The gallant walks off in the company of the girl. He magically produces a motor car and they drive together to a restaurant, where a supper party is gathered, waiting as though expecting the late arrivals. The girl has now lost her shabby apparel and is superbly dressed. But while the girl is seated at the table she has a vision of her old father and mother anxiously waiting at home for her return. She is about to rush from the room, when the dream fades gradually away and she awakes to find the old gallant still in attendance.

GOOD-NIGHT.
Price, Colored, $6.48.
Approximate Length, 27 feet.
Exhibitors have always been at a loss to find a fitting and appropriate film subject as an entertaining and pleasing finish to a picture show. This difficulty need trouble them no more, however, for we have now produced the very identical thing, which will be found to answer the purpose admirably.
The film is beautifully colored, and shows two children interestedly viewing some picture books when they are overcast by the shadow of Morpheus, and a lattice shutter, bearing the words
GOOD-NIGHT, unrolls in front of them.
Tasteful, artistic and original, it is a fitting sequel to any program.
